Moscow is where either your Trans-Siberian adventure starts or ends, and Hannah Rosborough, April 2011 it would be a shame if you don’t have at least three days to explore Russia’s capital and the country’s largest city. • Explore the Kremlin and Armoury complex and see Russia’s Fabergé Eggs and other treasures. • Stroll around Red Square to take in the sights of this iconic place: St. Basils’ Cathedral, Lenin’s Mausoleum and the huge Gum Department store opposite the Kremlin. • Ride the famous Moscow Metro, with many stations looking like museums. • Enjoy an evening at the renovated Bolshoi Theatre. Moscow and St Petersburg are connected by a dozen high-speed trains completing the 650 km in a few hours or during a comfortable overnight trip while saving hotel costs. ST PETERSBURG Санкт-Петербург Four days in St Petersburg will give you a good taste of this beautiful city. Explore the treasures of the Hermitage with a private guide, take a self-guided walking tour of the city’s main sights such as the Church on the Spilled Blood, and visit the gilded behemoth of Catherine Palace in the Tsars’ Village. Our specialists know and love St Petersburg, often considered to be Russia’s unofficial cultural capital, and we’ll help design your itinerary to make the most of your time there. • See the many treasures of the Hermitage, one of the world’s best art galleries. • Explore the beautiful canals and grand buildings of one of the world’s prettiest cities. • Visit the Peter and Paul Fortress, the city’s first permanent building. • Take a hydrofoil into the Gulf of Finland to see Peter the Great’s Palace and the Catherine Palace to marvel at the phenomenal wealth of the Tsars.

  • Information Technologies of the Project of New Museum Exposition
    Information technologies of the project of new museum exposition “Periods of the history of Kolomenskoye” Author: Olga A. Polyakova Olga A. Polyakova Information technologies of the project of new museum exposition My presentation will deal with Kolomenskoye museum-reserve in Moscow and projects involving use of new technologies that the museum experts intend to employ in their everyday work. Let me say a few words about the museum. It is located in Moscow and occupies a site of 390 hectares. The peculiarity of our museum consists in the fact that quite diverse monuments and objects of cultural heritage are concentrated in it. Lands of Kolomenskoye where the museum is located has been inhabited by people since the most ancient times. The very landscape of Kolomenskoye is the unique object of the cultural heritage. The museum- reserve is situated on a high beautiful place at the Moscow river bank. The oldest trees in Moscow, oaks that are more than 600 years old have survived to the present time in the place. Flood plains, rare herbs and flowers included in the Red book, ravines with exposed geological strata, streams and springs belong to natural monuments. The old park of planted oaks, larches, fir trees, elms and ash trees and gardens of apple and pear trees occupy the greater part of Kolomenskoye plot. The particular value of Kolomenskoye museum is imparted by the fact that the place served as the summer time residence of the Russian tsars for good six hundred years. Originally Kolomenskoye was situated outside Moscow city boundaries. It lies south off the city and Russian potentates did not select the place for their residence on the high beautiful river bank just by chance.
